Presented as a “multi-sport festival”, the weekend is built around two professional races over a distance of 100 km (2 km swim, 80 km bike, 18 km run, which thus make up the T100):
– Men (20 best long-distance athletes in the world) on Friday, June 27
– Women (20 best long-distance athletes in the world) on Saturday, June 28.
Events open to all are also offered, including:
- A “100 km” Triathlon (2 km swim, 80 km bike, 18 km run)
- An “Olympic” Triathlon (1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run)
- A “SuperSprint” Triathlon (400m swim, 8 km bike, 2 km run)
- An Open Water Swim event
- Children and Youth events and activities
- A Fun Run
- A 3-day outdoor expo village
Hosted in the magnificent Estérel-Côte d’Azur region, the idyllic port cities of Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël will be the hub of the new T100 French Riviera Triathlon, where the world’s best triathletes will compete.
Two of the star attractions will be the French duo of Léo Bergère and Vincent Luis, announced for the entire 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour circuit. Léo Bergère will be a local participant, as he lives and trains in Saint-Raphaël.
“Estérel-Côte d’Azur is an exceptional region to host an event like the T100, which is revolutionizing Long Distance Triathlon. All the athletes are very excited about competing in this race. I expect sublime swim, bike, and run courses. They will be presented soon,” said Bergère, winner of the 2022 Triathlon World Championships and bronze medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “There is a very strong community of practitioners in the region, so the atmosphere promises to be exceptional for all participants. I encourage everyone to come and participate in the sport, or to come and support us!”
Vincent Luis, bronze medalist in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic mixed relay and two-time winner of the Triathlon World Championships, added: “Estérel Côte d’Azur offers a fantastic setting to host this first T100 triathlon in France. In addition to being an iconic location, the fans there are among the most knowledgeable in the world, and I hope they will transmit their passion to as many people as possible.”
“Being able to offer a wide range of events open to all, as well as the two professional T100 races, should make for a very special weekend,” said Sam Renouf, CEO of PTO. “In addition to coming to support the professionals on Friday and Saturday, I encourage everyone who has never competed in the region before to register for one of the amateur events. I am very grateful for all the local support we have received throughout the Estérel Côte d’Azur, and particularly in the cities of Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël. Following the success of Paris 2024, where France won several medals, the country is a benchmark in this sport, and we are therefore delighted to introduce the T100 there for the first time.”
The PTO has so far announced seven T100 events for 2025, including: Singapore on April 5 and 6, where bibs are selling out very quickly; San Francisco from May 31 to June 1; London on August 9 and 10, where registrations also open today; Ibiza in September (dates to be determined); Lake Las Vegas (dates to be determined); and Dubai on November 15 and 16.
